In fact, in just three days, the goods that were supposed to be sold for a week were sold out. People in Mérida couldn't even wait for the sales trucks to arrive. They tried their best, even walking thirty kilometers to the port of Progreso to buy goods.

More than 3,000 tons of fish meat and dried shrimp were sold immediately, followed by matches and soap, and about 100 tons were sold. These two things are considered durable goods, which equals market saturation in a short period of time. But not many other daily necessities were sold, because almost all the liquidity in Merida City was in Zhou Qingfeng's hands. Residents' spending power is cleared.

"We should spend the money immediately, otherwise the money is meaningless." In the evening, when we checked the accounts, hundreds of thousands of gold coins piled up in front of Zhou Qingfeng. And then according to his plan, the money and the remaining materials will be used to buy and exchange for oil first.

Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula has three provinces, Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. Yucatan is the poorest province, and Campeche is slightly better off because of its offshore oil fields.

But Zhou Qingfeng's current influence is only in Merida City. If he wants to obtain supplies from other places, he must rely on other "Enclave" members in the city, but there is such a person in the city rushing to him right now.

"It's not fair, it doesn't conform to the rules we agreed upon at the beginning, I need to redefine the distribution of goods." Lieutenant Colonel Harding was furious, and strongly expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Zhou Qingfeng.

And Zhou Qingfeng said with an innocent face: "Your Excellency Harding, when you decided to distribute the goods internally, I have already agreed, so it is not easy to intervene."

"But those bastards actually united to exclude me. Now I have nothing but 10,000 bottles of whiskey." If there are people who are happy and others are worried, Lieutenant Colonel Harding is definitely the one who is happy first and then sad.

Lieutenant Colonel Harding, who was originally the most powerful, left the field early because he looked down on the goods provided by the "Aurora Legion", and lost the right to participate in the distribution of goods. When he realized something was wrong, he tried to intervene again, but was collectively resisted by other 'Enclave' bureaucratic systems.

Faced with huge benefits, no one is willing to share their own share. Lieutenant Colonel Harding wanted to get angry at the crown, but as a soldier, he was full of big soldiers, and no one told him how to do business.

However, when Lula's strength was greatly weakened, Merida City became a situation where all the heroes came together, and no one who could stand up to distribute the goods was easy to mess with. For example, Paramount, which is in charge of production arrangements in the city, has several high-ranking officials from the Enclave headquarters standing behind it.

In the beginning, Lieutenant Colonel Harding only thought of himself as unlucky, at least he had 10,000 bottles of whiskey every month as compensation, but when the tens of thousands of tons of supplies on the "Bird of Paradise" were all divided up, when Zhou Qingfeng arranged for manpower in Meili There was a sales frenzy in the city, and he finally realized that he was thinking too simply.

The global population in 2030 is approaching 10 billion. After the cataclysm, there are still 20 to 3 billion people left after many hardships. Among them, the most remaining underdeveloped areas, such as Africa, have almost no major problems. What kind of life they used to live, what kind of life they continue to live now, anyway, many of their countries have always been in anarchy.

Regardless of whether it is Mexico or North America, although the loss is huge, the remaining population of tens of millions is still a huge market, which can swallow a huge amount of goods like a bottomless pit. What is lacking now is the source of goods. Now mastering the supply of goods can grasp the power and the opportunity of development. However, Lieutenant Colonel Harding easily lost this opportunity.

"Your Excellency Governor, I hope you can help me. This matter cannot be so unfair." Lieutenant Colonel Harding lost his domineering attitude at the beginning, and even had a sense of looking up in front of Zhou Qingfeng. The past is not the same.

"Hahaha..., Lieutenant Colonel Harding, you really gave me a problem!" Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself: You are an idiot, but now you want me to come forward,

I'm too lazy to stand up for you. He laughed for a while and said, "Actually, I don't think you need to rob those ordinary people's goods. The whiskey I gave you is already worth a lot of money."

Lieutenant Colonel Harding also complained in his heart, 10,000 bottles of whiskey are indeed very valuable, when compared with tens of thousands of tons of goods, there is still a big gap. But now he can only please ask: "Your Excellency Governor, I think you must have a way to help me, right? If you have any more requests, you can ask them."

When it comes to more requests, Zhou Qingfeng naturally has them. He was silent for a while and said: "If you help me control the oil wells in Campeche Province, especially several offshore oil drilling*platforms. I can give you the sole agency of my future liquor products, and the price will remain the same."

An offshore drilling platform? Alcoholic agent? Lieutenant Colonel Harding was immediately tempted, and he asked eagerly, "How much can you give me in a month?"

"More than 50,000 bottles." Zhou Qingfeng reported a figure, which was equivalent to half of his daily transportation volume.

Lieutenant Colonel Harding gritted his teeth and doubled his request, "I want 100,000 bottles."

"If you want 100,000 bottles, then I have a further request - to completely cut off the diesel supply of the Cancun fleet, and not allow the Cancun patrol fleet to go to sea to disrupt our business." Zhou Qingfeng said sternly.

"Deal." Lieutenant Colonel Harding didn't care about the life of the Cancun Fleet. He had plenty of ways to shirk it. "Your Excellency Governor is really strong, and the help you give is too important to me."

Accepting the high hat from the other party while laughing, Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself: This Lieutenant Colonel Harding doesn't even know what he gave me, does he?

Compared with a large number of destroyed oil production facilities on land, offshore drilling* platforms are basically well preserved. Moreover, one of the characteristics of the drilling* platform is that it has a strong ability to work independently. After all, it is isolated on the sea, so don't mess around if you don't have some self-sustaining ability.

Zhou Qingfeng took a fancy to several offshore drilling* platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, but he was unable to get started because he really didn't have the ability, and those were the core areas controlled by the 'Enclave'. And if Harding can help with this matter, the crude oil supply of the Havana refinery can be increased by at least ten times.

Oil is black gold, the blood of industry, and the foundation of modern civilization. Trucks in Merida can get diesel and gasoline relatively easily, while Havana has shut down all motor vehicles in the city to allow the "Bird of Paradise" to start.

From this, it can be seen that the 'Enclave' is still much stronger than the 'Aurora Legion'. And controlling several offshore drilling platforms is of great significance to Zhou Qingfeng!

In order to celebrate the new cooperation agreement reached by the two parties, Zhou Qingfeng took out cigarettes and alcohol to entertain Lieutenant Colonel Harding. When the other party was finally sent away, he also called two policemen to send the other party back. And watching His Excellency the lieutenant colonel leave in a car, he stood at the gate of his governor's mansion, smiling meaningfully. (To be continued.)
